  1. So started off giving everything good clean and hoover, then went over the really bad bits with wire brush to make sure all clean, once happy painted the metal in a zinc primmer and once dried put silver top coat on, haven't done passenger footwell yet as that's where ECU sits and going to paint that by hand and finish bracket making for the Link ECU to sit pretty. Plus while everything stripped plan to run sound system wires and also re-route Nos lines into engine bay ready to start using Nos system again. also going to sound deaden all under carpet before start the re-fit. Gave Toyota ring today and have ordered new rubber bungs for floor as only £6 each and as can tell from other pics one is well worn and explains why carpet was bit damp in that area Today i also gave the carpet good deep clean I know bit silly to start big job like this while still not sorted car running issue but am pretty confident its dizzy and making most of week of work. Here are pics of progress so far.
  2. Also while on holiday this week have been planning to strip interior carpet sort any rust and give everything good clean, its one of them jobs have been wanting to do for while now, so made start Monday and removed seats and carpet and was quite surprised as metal work was in good condition just dirty.
  3. Right few updates, with the running issues had Alex come round couple weeks ago and we went through all the coils, loom and plugs again to double check it all and still had no luck getting car to fire and run right, so decided to try the dizzy and adjusted timing slightly and car wanted to start so adjusted bit more and car fired up so now sure issue is the dizzy, removed old dizzy to see if had any play or damage and found big crack in magnet and the bearings had failed and shaft was moving all over place so am pretty confident that is what caused the running issue. So rang Toyota and they wanted £872+VAT for new dizzy, looked online and can get same part from Japan Toyota for £218 so ordered new unit plus have ordered set of new HT leads so can reset engine timing and get car running sweet again. Good news both items turned up last week so plan when Alex free again to fit dizzy and set timing and fingers crossed she's all back to normal
  4. I would also look at distributer and double check timing as i currently having issues with mine and believe distributer is problem, also check all your earth points as i had problem couple years and was the power cable from fuse box plus the earth near fuse box was bad
  5. This weekend have been trying to see if can solve issue but so far no luck, 1st i removed grade 8 plugs which were black and smelt of fuel so she clearly running mega rich for some reason, fitted old grade 7 plugs in and went through all vac lines and couldn't find any damage or loose hoses..(if honest was hoping was going to be simple vac hose). I also did a compression test before fitted plugs and got 125psi across all cylinders that was stone cold engine with throttle closed, i also used camera to see if could see any damage on pistons and bores and they all looked ok. fired car up and was still running really poorly so was unsure what else to do so spoke to Mike from SRD and he remoted in to my laptop with car running poorly and couldn't find anything still, Mike suggested i did another compression test and try running car and unplugging coils one by one to see if coil was faulty, did compression test again and got 175psi more or less across all cylinders so happy that engine ok not head gasket issue. Also with car running and unplugging coil at time, engine dropped that cylinder and then revs increased when plugged in, so happy coils aren't issue either. Mike also suggested that check mechanical timing and look for fuel in vac lines, so checked all vac lines again and all dry and clear, checked timing and all good with cam belt timing, i can't check dizzy timing as need to lock ecu timing and use HT lead and not sure how to do that at moment but going to have read up in week. Today checked AFR sensor and air sensor just incase and they all good, i also checked ecu to see if any wire had come loose or damaged and everything looks perfect in footwell, spoke to Mike again today and he said to check coil loom as he's seen them causing running issues, so have Alex coming round this week to check loom and connectors to rule that out also going to borrow his map sensor as mine is reading low and its something else to rule out. If can't find any issues with coil loom or map sensor think going to have to get car trailed to SRD as i out of options. It could still be timing issue as dizzy could be at fault and if that case when SRD have car will get them to fit delete kit and OEM crank sensor so can get rid of dizzy at last. I wondering as car was running fine and then started running poorly 10mins from home could a pot hole or something caused the dizzy to move causing all this hassle as i run solid mounts and car is very firm ride, really hoping its something simple and not to expensive but car needs sorting so can use her again. Few pictures took this weekend and last phot shows dizzy and i think she was more in middle of adjustment but can't find old pics to prove its moved, really running out of options now....just want to enjoy the car and this isn't how wanted year to start with supra.
  6. Thank you for taking the picture mate, shame lost loads of my full build up when forum changed but one of them things, Japshow was great fun and cant wait to run car up strip again, been doing some searching and think have few trigger kits options and coil brackets. Oh yes i am sure we will meet up at few shows this year for good chat and catch up
  7. That's my thinking aswell, i wondering if something has come loose with the coils, can't wait to get in garage Saturday and hopefully get it sorted, main issue is no one does coil bracket for the GE engine and the coils can move about causing problems like this
  8. Massive pain didnt need and am so hoping its something easy to sort, few people have said head gasket but cant see that on forged build that only done 5k plus all ARP bolts and no fluid levels have changed, but as removing plugs guess makes sense to check
  9. Not a happy update, fitted new Funk turbo blanket and taxed car over weekend as daily needs new clutch so thought would use supra for week for work, took car out sunday and seemed all good, bit of strong smell of fuel but just put it down too car hadn't been driven few months and was only 10min drive to get fuel and home. Took the car monday morning and she drove perfect but again strong smell of fuel, everyone at work loved the car so fired her up at dinner and she was running sweet, after work on way home car seemed all good and car her boot full of boost and she was perfect, making all the right sounds......but about 10mins from home she started running rough and was down on power similar like i had when 2 whifbitz coils were faulty but just kept getting worst and everytime slowed down for juction car would stall and had to hold foot on gas to get her running and keep her running plus car was struggling at 40mph, because was close to home limped her home. Only thing have replaced is grade 8 plugs from grade 7 and replaced the faulty whifbitz coils with SRD R35 coils........ Car now won't start easy and when does fire sounds like she missing big time, i've ordered compression test kit just to rule out head gasket blown but can't see that being issue as haven't lost oil or coolant and the levels are still the same, am learning towards spark plug or coils failed, just thought would post up see if anyone else had other ideas as what could be? Over weekend going to fit old grade 7 plugs in and check compression, plus try the replaced Whifbitz coils see if have any joy, also going to put camera down to have look to see if can see any damage in bores or pistons but really think its something to do with ignition system, not the start i wanted this year but fingers crossed just something simple. Thinking depending what issue is going to look at fitted OEM crank sensor and ordering cam trigger kit to finally get rid of noisy dizzy, if is serious not really sure what going to do Any advice would be greatfull. Few pictures from weekend and car at work
  10. Cheers for that, will see if can get my 10x7 to fit. i've got the front SRD brackets and they are perfect fit as would expect
  11. Really digging that cage, think cage just so suits the supra shape, also really like the rear speaker pods....did you use MDF template? as i trying to work out how to fit my 10x7 speakers in rear pods
  12. Welcome back to the club, she looks stunning, really hope you get the heating issue sorted
  13. They def do look very cool, and i really they really go well on a silver supra
  14. Roof spoiler looks really good, keep thinking about getting one for mine
